Let $G$ be a finite group and $D_{2n}$ be the dihedral group of $2n$ elements. For a positive integer $d$, let $\mathsf{s}_{d\mathbb{N}}(G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell\in \mathbb{N}_0\cup \{+\infty\}$ such that every sequence $S$…

Let K be a nontrivial knot in the 3-sphere with the exterior E(K), and u in G(K), the fundamental group of E(K), a slope element represented by an essential simple closed curve on the boundary of E(K). Since the normal closure of u in G(K)…

A good cover in R^d is a collection of open contractible sets in R^d such that the intersection of any subcollection is either contractible or empty. Motivated by an analogy with convex sets, intersection patterns of good covers were…

The variation distance closure of an exponential family with a convex set of canonical parameters is described, assuming no regularity conditions. The tools are the concepts of convex core of a measure and extension of an exponential…

We define a certain merging operation that given two $d$-polytopes $P$ and $Q$ such that $P$ has a simplex facet $F$ and $Q$ has a simple vertex $v$ produces a new $d$-polytope $P\hspace{0.1em}\triangleright Q$ with $f_0(P)+f_0(Q)-(d+1)$…

We prove a weak fundamental principle for $\lambda$-homogeneous solutions of homogeneous constant-coefficient systems on open pointed convex cones. Starting with the solution family $S_{\mathcal B}$ arising in the Ehrenpreis--Palamodov…

We prove that if $A_0$ and $A_1$ are compact convex sets contained in a convex $n$-gon with vertices $g_1, \dots, g_n$, and $n$ is strictly greater than the number of common supporting lines of $A_0$ and $A_1$, then there exist $i \in…

For a Euclidean building $X$ of type $A_{2}$, we classify the 0-dimensional subbuildings $A$ of $\partial_{T}X$ that occur as the asymptotic boundary of closed convex subsets. In particular, we show that triviality of the holonomy of a…

We show that there is some absolute constant $c>0$, such that for any union-closed family $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^{[n]}$, if \mbox{$|\mathcal{F}| \geq (\frac{1}{2}-c)2^n$}, then there is some element $i \in [n]$ that appears in at least…

In this short note we show that Helly's Intersection Theorem holds for convex sets in uniquely geodesic spaces (in particular in CAT(0) spaces) without the assumption that the convex sets are open or closed.

We demonstrate that when a graph exhibits a specific type of symmetry, it satisfies the Union Closed Conjecture(UCC). Additionally, we show that certain graph classes, such as Cylindrical Grid Graphs and Torus Grid Graphs also satisfy the…

The main objective of this paper is to show that the complement of a rational convex set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ is (n-2)-connected for n>2.

Two families $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of sets are said to be cross-intersecting if each member of $\mathcal{A}$ intersects each member of $\mathcal{B}$. For any two integers $n$ and $k$ with $0 \leq k \leq n$, let ${[n] \choose \leq…

The equidistant set of two nonempty subsets $K$ and $L$ in the Euclidean plane is a set all of whose points have the same distance from $K$ and $L$. Since the classical conics can be also given in this way, equidistant sets can be…

In this paper, we first consider the graph of $(F_1,F_{2},\cdots,F_{n})$ on $\overline{\mathbb{D}}^{n},$ where $F_{j}(z)=\bar{z}^{m_{j}}_{j}+R_{j}(z),j=1,2,\cdots,n,$ which has non-isolated CR-singularities if $m_{j}>1$ for some…

Let $(\mathcal{M}, c_k,n_k)$ be a class of Moran sets. We assume that the convex hull of any $E\in (\mathcal{M}, c_k,n_k)$ is $[0,1]$. Let $A,B$ be two non-empty sets in $\mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $f$ is a continuous function defined on an…

A family $\mathcal{A}$ of sets is {\it $t$-intersecting} if the cardinality of the intersection of every pair of sets in $\mathcal{A}$ is at least $t$, and is an {\it $r$-family} if every set in $\mathcal{A}$ has cardinality $r$. A…

If $2 \le d \le k$ and $n \ge dk/(d-1)$, a $d$-cluster is defined to be a collection of $d$ elements of ${[n] \choose k}$ with empty intersection and union of size no more than $2k$. Mubayi conjectured that the largest size of a…

A finite set of real numbers is called convex if the differences between consecutive elements form a strictly increasing sequence. We show that, for any pair of convex sets $A, B\subset\mathbb R$, each of size $n^{1/2}$, the convex grid…

We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…
